11/13/2014 - Baseball Factory Select Training & Competition at Pirate City Jake is a coachable player who has a willingness to improve his game. At SS, he is aggressive and comes to get the ground ball. He fields the ball with sure hands, gathers well and has a clean exchange to throw. Playing through the ball more and quickening his exchange will both help him to progress in the infield. With the bat, this RHH shows a square stance with balance. He tracks the ball into the zone and is a contact type hitter. Working back into a loaded position sooner will help to improve his timing and will increase his contact consistency. Jake also got on the mound and threw a couple of innings. He works to a controlled balance point and keeps his eyes on the target. He has a fluid delivery with repeatable mechanics. Leveling out his shoulders and finishing with extension will help to improve mound effectiveness. Jake is only a 2019 grad and has the 'gamer' type mentality who brings his all to the field every day.
